The Brothers of the Christian Schools opened their first school in Belgium in 1792 with Brothers coming from France.

The influence of the Belgian Brothers on Quebec will be most important in the field of history: Histoire de l’antiquité, Histoire du moyen âge, Les temps modernes et l’époque contemporaine, all books reprinted in Quebec during and after the second world war.

The majority of the textbooks published in Belgium were consulted either in the archives of the Institute in Belgium (Ciney and Groot- Bijgaarden) or in the online catalogue of the «Bibliothèque royale» (Royal Library) of Belgium (http://www.kbr.be/); to these have been added some textbooks found in the archives of the Institute in France or in Quebec (Canada).
